This year the Port Vila City Council hosted the International Youth Day (IYD) Celebration in Port Vila at Saralan Park on the 18th of August 2022.
The Vanuatu Red Cross Society (VRCS) was invited to join and celebrate that special day. The International Youth Day is commemorated on 12 August, bringing youth issues to the attention of our community and celebrating the potential of youth as partners in today’s national society. Each year is given a theme to celebrate and this year 2022 theme is “International Solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages” which means the world needs to leverage the full potential of all generations including young people to archive sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Solidarity across Generation is key for sustainable development; therefore, we must collaborate to foster successful and equitable intergenerational relations and partnerships to ensure “no one is left behind.”
The Activities include sports (vasanoc) and display booths where VRCS demonstrated First Aid, Automated External Defibrillator (ADE) through its Volunteers on how you can safe someone life in a proper way during an emergency and displays of the VRCS work and programs across Vanuatu by our Shefa Branch.
“We believe that we can work together to make this day a success for young people and we do appreciate your tremendous assistance through the past years in supporting Youths of Port Vila,” says the Vanuatu National Youth Council.
